That would work, it would just be slightly confusing.  Consider the
following wikimarkup:

[[File:Anthony Kennedy]]

Is that a picture, a video, a sound clip?  Maybe even a PDF of a book
by that name?  It's not obvious.  Of course, hitting preview would
immediately tell you, so I think the confusion would be tolerable.
But it would be a little weird.
